lile here heretofore stated that the hlzides" l? and 19 nre preferably eet in e double serewlike shape, or one screw within the other, this may be seen in Fig. 14 wherein the .solid line re regents one continuous screw and the dotted) lines another. By reesoii of this construction there is no wide spatie left-f bet'iveen the spirals or volutes formed from the arrangement of tlie blades as in the above lgure, so that no' cliunksor masses can find room to enea )e unbroken und the manure is played upon l) f the blades thin edges at many points across the face. of the primary cylinder 8. l the screws were iininutileted or perfectly Shaped merely their peripheries could be slizirpened and thus .the violent or dy- 'zien'iic blows necessary to rend the manure would not. he present. iii force. The Vaction o. an unii'intilated screw is static es experience has shown :uid is futile to either nppreciably teer epurt or direct tlie stream or niniinie.
